Extract from the Varese Travel Guides:
VARESE
is a gracious purpose-built town of gardens, marble Fifties villas and rectangular Fascist-era buildings, fringed with shoe factories. Its inhabitants are every bit as obsessed with style as the Milanese and look almost as perfect as the window-display mannequins in the designer shops that line the main street, Corso Matteotti.
The centre of town is
Piazza Monte Grappa
, not far from the city's main attraction, the formal gardens around the long, pink
Palazzo Estense
, built in the eighteenth century for the Este Dukes of Modena (daily 8am-sunset, until 11pm July & Aug; free)... read the whole Varese Travel Guides...
